Deewave is back with a poignant new single, “Save Some For Me,” a track that masterfully explores the delicate balance between love and self-preservation. The song is a quiet triumph, deeply reflective and resonantly minimalist.
Known for his ability to articulate emotional complexities, the Nigerian singer-songwriter may have delivered his most heartfelt work yet. “Save Some For Me” is built on haunting metaphors and a hook that serves as a mantra for anyone learning to protect their peace. The song opens with the line, “Maybe just one more dance… I cannot decide to either float or drown,” an exquisite metaphor for the duality of love. The titular refrain, “I save some me for me, save some you for you,” is a quiet but revolutionary insistence on the importance of emotional boundaries.
The stripped-down production allows the vulnerability in Deewave’s voice to shine through, particularly on the devastating line, “When I’m lost I hope I can find me tomorrow,” which captures the universal fear of self-erasure in a relationship.
“This song is my letter to anyone who’s ever felt drained by love,” Deewave shares. In an era of performative romance, “Save Some For Me,” now available on all major streaming platforms, is a rare and welcome celebration of emotional sustainability, offering a powerful message that resonates long after the final note fades.
